Supply Upkeep

[The Seraph of Tomorrow]

Holy crap it's absurd how high it is.

An RTS really doesn't need such a weirdly punishing mechanic so early. Like if it was in the second half of the game it'd be fine. It is just jarring early on.

That is your subjective preference that does not represent objective reality.

Judging from how many people are having issues about the supply system, I think objectivity is on my side. :V

Consider that 3 types of strategies exist. 1 - RNG fiesta with miss chances. 2 - soft RNG with damage in brackets. 3 - little to no RNG with fixed damage. I prefer 3, although I don't need calculator for it.

Number three is objectively the best version of RTS. Like World in Conflict and Homeworld.

Or Fantasy General 2 from Slitherine. The only RNG is skirmisher retreat, which can be negated by using fast units or range.

Idk man, at one point the public consensus was that earth stood on elephants and turtles.

I fail to see how that's relevant. You should please pay attention to the issue at hand. Not turtles.

You just like using a calculator or something?

Why, I'm not aboive listening to tips. I prefer to ask for tips rather than whining that game is too difficult.

No you just like to go on a steam forum and pick fights like a neckbeard with nothing better to do.

It stopped being a good insult the moment when you wrote it. You are not better at all.

Why, turtles are too slow to understand the game mechanics. Critical to issue at hand.

The devs could entirely solve the issue while still giving the masochists the pain they crave by either A: tying supply upkeep into difficulty or B: Making it a separate selection from difficulty but still letting you chose how much the supply consumption is

If you say so.

That'd make sense, make normal-easy have less supply usage, and hard-insane have more.

Devs should add UBERHARD difficulty (which will actually be very easy to not insult feeling of modern audiences). Terminators will do thug shaker and self destruct and you get "YOU WIN!!!" written in comic sans all over the screen

TBH, I find the supply cost a tid bit too much as well, but just a bit.
The problem is, the game doesn't communicate well how it is meant to be played.
Stop collecting all garbage and just accept your losses, don't reload too much, keep the units you really want, a small elite core and you will have never supply problems again.
Also almost every mission gives you allied supplies, which let you rearm for free.
By doing it after each mission you can easly save a day worth of supplies by just rearming in mission without using own supplies.

I mean no problems. It's just that it's not really relevant to the discussion. I'm sure the best Terminator RTS player to have ever lived could brag about such skills. But that doesn't really matter as to what the average player wants.

I didn’t pick a fight. You did. So yeah, I am better than you. I came here to talk you came here to be a rude miserable person for no reason other than you find it fun.

If you get that insecure over a question perhaps you’re the one with the problem? And no, I don’t.
